that isapplied TO repression of political
opinion with which we have nothing to do.
We stand in the presence in Ireland of a
system Of crime sapping most surely and
fatally the happiness and freedom of the
people, vast organization taking away
human freedom, interfering with men in
all stations by the machinery Of intimida-
ton. Gladstone asserts the Grimes
bill gives the government pow
er b deal with political asso-
ciations supporting crimes, but this
pOweT Is conferred by the House of Com
mons Commons alone can allow sneh
machinery to be set in motion. All such
opposition is based upon false unsound
foundation. Opponents Of the government
endeavOr to appropriate, for the purpose of
attacking the bin feeling which always
intelligibly existed against political re-
preston. But repressers of crime do not
attack the liberty Of the people. On the
contrary they are its greatest defenders.
Gladstone's idea when on a fine
morning in 'S5 be WIN has been all his life
a vigorous opponent of Home Rule awoke
to advocate Home Rule was that it was his
followers duty to awake Home Rulers too
[Cheers and laughter There is no limit
to GladstOne's belief in the obsequious
obedience of the followers of his standard.
1t has always been thought that Jesuits
make large claims upon human obedience,
but at least the Jesuits well understand
they have well fixed freedom in the belief
they are required to accept. GladstOne's
votaries, under pain of accommodation,
are bound not only to devote themselves as
corpses to Gladstone's will but bound TO
turn from one opinion to another at mo-
ment's notice. They are held up as traitors
to civilization and liberty if they dare ad-
here to opinions he always taught them
(cheers). Gladstone tells us that for fifteen
wears he believed in Home Rule, but he
kept his change OF conviction to himself so
cleyerly that everybody believed he still
objected. 1t seems hard Liberal Unionists
should be punished with all this impreca-
ton because they were not acute enough
to discern how much Gladstone was TAX
ing them in" Cheers and voice, HE
has taken himself mn
Lord Salisbury resumed: "This treat
ment is not calculated to gather around
him new staff and q new army. There
are some desperate politicians, who have
gone 80 far they cannot retract, and must
follow Gladstone wherever he leads. But
where will he find new officers willing to
expose themselves to these sudden and
violent changes; this imperious insistence
on absolute humiliation? Mr.. Gladstone
will find on the labor side of the House
that the spirit of Englishmen has not
quite disappeared and the leader to be fol-
lowed must be the leader who can be trusted
to stand by his opinions. Gladstone thinks
that Parnell's position is perfectly reason
able. If Parnell and his associates were
men absolutely free from suspicion in this
matter, would understand that reason
ing. But they belong to party of which
a large wing has worked by murder and
been largely supported by contributions,
and others who openly advocate political
assassination. Parnell's trusted friends
mixed on terms of intimacy with those
whose advocacy of assassination is well
known, and the language of Parnell and
his friends in speaking of the terrible crimes
committed is not above reproach, being
marked by indifference to even tolerance of
murder When such grave case Of pre-
sumption exists, it is not open for him to
take refuge in mere denial or think he can
dispose of the accusations by the liberal
use of the wide and energetic vocabulary
which his followers used in the House Of
Commons"
FOREIGN SYMPATHY.
Gladstone writes: 81 attach high value
to manifestations now incessant Of Ameri-
can as well as colonial sympathy with the
Irish people in the crisis created by the
causeless, insulting, insiduous bill at
present before Parliament. A part from
particular and more or less formal ack-
nOwledgments, / am not of opinion lift be
proper or expedient for me to take it upon
myself to address any communication to
America on this subject, which, however,
InOticed, and may again notice in Parlia-
ment. / wOuld recommend the endeavor
be made to present some estimate OF the
aggregate number of persons by which re-
cent meetings in America there attended
likewise, especially the estimated number
of Governors, Mayors, Senators, Represen-
tatives, clergymen, and other official or
highly responsible persons by whom such
meeting was countenanced or supported. !"
A Succession of Court Scandals.
LONDON, April 2O.-The court of Vien-
M has been distracted during the last few
weeks by a succession of scandals. The
relations between the Crown Prince Ru-
dOiph and the Princess Stephanie have
long been strained, and their sxuabblings
have recently brought them 70 the verge
of separation. The Crown Prince abrupt
ly left Vienna for Abbazie, having ex-
pressed her intention of returning to Bel
gium at the close Of her stry on the Adri-
attic. The Emperor personally interyened
to avert his daughter-in-law's departure,
and Prince Philip, of Sake Cobnrg- -Gotha,
and other relatives, also exerted them
selves with the same object The result Is
that the Crown Princess is merely to pay a
six weeks visit to her parents at Brussels.
She is to be joined at Lackin by her hus-
band, aud they viii come on to England
together tn represent the Austrian Court
at the Jubilee celebration. The Crown
Princess viii afterwards visit Spa, and she
Is not to return to Vienna untsl autumn.
Still worse is the case Of Archduke Otto,
son Of Archdnke Charles Lofts and heir
presumptive TO the throne in case of Crown
Prince Rudolph's death without male
issue. He was married last year to
Princess Maria JOsefa, the beautiful and
accomplished daughter of Prince George OF
Saxony. The Arehduke's conduct has
been so bad that his bride left him with
thefull approval Of his relatives, and it is
by no means unlikely that he will be i'm
priSoned for the good Of his health, and for
the correction and reformation of his man.
ners and excesses.
Lastly comes Archduke Ferdinand,
brother, Of the above mentioned culprit,
who inherited part of the vast fortune Of
the late Duke Of Modena. He has lust
been disgraced and forbidden to appear at
court in consequence Of a most gross out
rage on some peasants, which was brought
to the notice Of the Emperor by the Bishop
of Linz. II IS stated that the Archdnke
and some Of his brother officers were rid
